Isolation and characterization of Bartonella quintana from parotid gland of an immunocompetent man.
2009
We describe a case of the isolation of Bartonella quintana from the parotid gland of an apparently healthy man. Pathological examination showed intraparotid granulomatous abscessual lymphadenitis. Diagnosis was made on the basis of high titers of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM antibodies and of culture isolation of a causative agent from parotid aspirate.
The double uterus associated with an obstructed hemivagina: Clinical management
1991
Abstract The clinical management of It) patients, 9 with uterus didelphys and 1 with complete septate uterus associated with an obstructed hemivagina, is described. The diagnostic evaluation revealed a complete unilateral obstruction in four patients, and an anomalous communication between the two uterovaginal channels in six. In all such patients, the presence of regular menses is frequently misleading, perhaps resulting in unnecessary laparotomy and inadequate or extirpative surgery with negative reproductive consequences. However, diagnosis is simplified if the gynecologist is aware of the malformation. Recommended treatment consists of evacuation of the retained menstruum and excision o…

Long-Term Efficacy of Radiofrequency Treatment of Turbinate Hypertrophy: A Patient Based Point of View
2010
Nasal turbinate hypertrophy is a major cause of nasal airway obstruction that affects up to 20% of the European general population. This study aims to determine the efficacy of radiofrequency treatment as perceived by patients during a 2-years period. From 2007 to 2009, an observational study was conducted on 36 patients who consecutively underwent temperature-controlled radiofrequency tissue volume reduction. A questionnaire was administered to each patient in order to collect demographic data, lifestyle habits, health status and visual analogue scale (VAS) score of perceived symptoms. Mean VAS scores of nasal obstruction, headache, rhinorrhoea and anosmia after treatment were significantl…
Gynecological Disorders in Patients with Non-celiac Wheat Sensitivity
2019
Background: Non-celiac wheat sensitivity (NCWS) most frequently presents clinically with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like symptoms, although many extra-intestinal manifestations have also been attributed to it. No studies to date have evaluated the presence and frequency of gynecological symptoms in NCWS. Aim: To evaluate the frequency of gynecological disorders in patients with NCWS. Patients and Methods: Sixty-eight women with NCWS were included in the study. A questionnaire investigating gynecological symptoms and recurrent cystitis was administered, and patients reporting symptoms were then examined by specialists. Three control groups were selected: 52 patients with IBS not related …

L’acalasia è una disfunzione della motilità esofagea contrassegnata dall’assenza della peristalsi e da assente o incompleto rilasciamento dello sfintere esofageo inferiore. Viene descritto il caso di un paziente divenuto acalasico dopo intervento di laringectomia totale allo scopo di comprendere i meccanismi fisiopatologici che possono aver determinato l’insorgenza di tale complicanza.
Atrian natriuretic peptide (ANP)-Presence in human inferior turbinate after botulism toxin type A treatment
2012
Studies demomstrated the ANP-presence in the mucosa of human turbinate, the study aimed to investigate about the ANP-presence of human turbinates of patients after treatment with the Botulinum Toxyn-A(BTX-A) since no data are reported. Results show that in BTX-A treated patients ANP is present in the ciliated and basal cells of the epithelium of tonaca mucosa and some glands;therefore ANP-presence is more intense than in mucosa of untreated patients.
